Although this song wasn't ever released on an album (they released it on a bootleg 
Dylan played it alot on the Rolling Thunder Revue.
             G          C           G
The water is wide and I can't cross over
        Em              D
Neither have I wings to fly
   C      Bm                C
[n.]                        
Build me a boat that can carry two
               G  D            C G/B Am
   GG
(C/ )
And both shall row my love and I.
